OrocarniThe red mountains above Cuiviénen
Partially conjectural1
Partially conjectural1
A lost range of mountains in the far east of Middle-earth, near Cuiviénen, beneath which the first Elves awoke. Called the Mountains of the East, the name Orocarni literally translates as 'Red Mountains'. We know little more about them, except that they were apparently the source of the many streams that ran down into Cuiviénen. A sketch-map reproduced in volume IV of The History of Middle-earth shows a long straight mountain-range, running along the eastern coastlands from the far north, and ending to the east of the Sea of Helcar. These are labelled 'Red Mountains', and surely represent the lost range later called the Orocarni. Notes
